Law? What law?

The GMC are not the only arrogant gits who think they are above the law. 

The church of England has got itself into a hopeless muddle over the appointment of gay bishops. Reading this article it is obvious that the church, like catholicism and islam, has it’s share of bigoted homophobes. In an attempt to bridge the gulf between these throwbacks and the more liberal members of the church, it has come to a number of compromises which can only have been thought up by a committee.

You can be a gay anglican bishop if you do not actually have sex. 

Anglican bishops who are heterosexual are not required to be celibate, but homosexual ones are.

Anglican bishops who are heterosexual are allowed to keep their former sex lives private, but homosexual ones are expected to repent theirs.

In an effort to placate both sides the church has got into a hopeless demonstration of double standards. Why any gay would want to associate himself with such an openly homophobic organisation is a mystery to me.

The fact that this blatant discrimination is almost certainly unlawful has penetrated their consciousness, but they appear to think that adherence to the relevant legislation is optional, making the statement, “bishops debated the issue at a private meeting, failing to reach agreement on how far they should comply with new equality legislation.”

Really? Perhaps next time I feel like killing someone I shall justify my actions by deciding how far I should comply with the law against murder. They don’t get it do they? The law applies to all. Their adherence to an anachronistic and outdated code of conduct based on a belief in fairies does not excuse them from obeying the law. 

And these fools think they hold the moral high ground. I don’t think so.

High Court kicks GMC in the bollocks (again)

Back in April I wrote about the case of Dr Phillipp Bonhoeffer who had been suspended by the GMC, and was facing a fitness to practice hearing on the thinnest of evidence, evidence which was purely hearsay. 

My view that the behaviour of the GMC was outrageous and biased has been confirmed by the high court, who have described the intention of the GMC to proceed against Dr Bonhoeffer as “irrational”, and a breach of article 6 (Right to a fair hearing) of the Human Rights Act. 

The GMC in their typical arrogance are in denial. That twat Niall Dickson astoundingly has stated that the case remains open, and Dr Bonhoeffer remains suspended, despite the fact that the high court judge has forbidden the GMC from using the only evidence they had.

What makes that fool Dickson think that the GMC are above the law? What does it take to get any humility from these people? They should drop this case immediately, reverse the suspension and apologise.

What arseholes.

A question

Why is it that for running an NHS Foundation Trust a CE can expect an annual salary in the region of £160,000, and a Medical Director can expect about £150,000, when for running the entire country the Prime Minister only gets £142,500?

With 170 acute hospital Trusts in Britain that means that just 340 NHS employees are costing about 105million pounds a year in pay. To put this in perspective, the 650 MPs in the House of Commons cost less than half this sum, 42.7million.

Is it not time there was a cap on how much a public sector employee can earn?

NHS reforms

Oops

Looks like somebody wasn't using the WHO checklist.

Heroes & Villains

You will probably have seen this clip of surgeon David Nunn of Guys Hospital losing his rag, and who can blame him. 

What no-one is asking is what were Cameron and Clegg doing at the hospital in the first place. Apparently he was there to  “reveal the reforms in the NHS”. Did he really have to go to a working hospital to do it? 

The appearance of these politicians in the hospital with a full cortege of the press can have been nothing more than a propaganda exercise. Totally orchestrated theatre with the sole function of providing a photo opportunity for the PM.

I think we all wait with baited breath to see if Mr Nunn is about to feel the wrath of his CE over his quite justifiable outburst. But who is the CE of Guys? A man who thinks it is perfectly acceptable to allow his hospital and patients to be used for party political purposes.

This is the CE of Guys Hospital. His name is Ron Kerr. Ron is apparently the highest paid NHS CE in Britain, with an annual salary of 270,000.

Right again

This is getting spooky. Only yesterday I wrote "Cameron is capable of U turning when he thinks it expedient”. And today this appears in the Telegraph.

If my other prediction comes true I am definitely going into the fortune telling business.
